Whole family joined a pool for summer within walking distance for 30 bucks! Plan on getting more aerobic activities in this summer. I'll paddle out on anything to keep ready for actual waves.
That's a great deal. They shot down a proposal for a municipal pool in one of the towns here. It's really to bad. People talk about the problem of the exodus of younger people from the Cape yet do not do much to interest or retain them. Jobs would help also. As far as handling this flat spell, catch up on projects, go to the beach and chill, flat water SUP, and of course, the Carver.
The job issue at the Cape isn't a solely local problem. A pool would not help retaining anybody, except maybe one lifeguard. You live in a tourist area - kids today do not want to serve tourists. Do you aspire for your kids to be waiters, or waitresses, hotel maids, etc?? Frankly, you should wishing for your kids to get out of there. It is a pretty area, but opportunity is NOT there.

I agree with this to a large extent. However, there is opportunity, to develop certain business, such as in the technology area, IT, etc, that would work with in the Cape's tradition and environmental concerns. There is already a lot going on as oceanographic spin offs (from WHOI, etc.). I guess my main concern is maybe not so much about the retention, rather the complaints about "young people" (by the some of the older folks) and some of the things they do (or don't do), yet sometimes there is not enough invested in things (parks, pools, skateboard parks, other activities etc.) that will give them positive things to do. Ya can't surf everyday (thus the reason for dis tread).
If you have to ask the difference between aerobic v anaerobic it's pointless to go any further here...but I bet Google knows
He said he wanted to gain weight...about 20 pounds. But I've only been training for 40 years, so what do I know. You don't see a lot of professional bodybuilders in the water, for sure. OTOH, musculature has never held me back aerobically or anaerobically.
lol I know the difference which is why I'm asking. I don't generally do cardio (aerobic) while lifting weights. for example, my aerobics include running and surfing. My anaerobics include lifting and lifting... Am I missing something?
I don't advise potentially brand new lifters to go heavy ya old fock. At one point I put on 40 LBs for college football so I have had experience with this too. Even when I was on that team we did faster workouts with more reps and I got to 255lb. We did not lift "heavy" but it was extremely effective.
It's reps & cycles...like I'll go 20-30 reps @:30r 3x...that's maintenance stuff that is aerobic based (using oxygen as the main energy component) because of the duration of time it takes to complete each cycle & round For stuff to improve muscular force intend to stick to water (I have a partially separated clavicle that I've been neglecting for yeeears, so I can't do super heavy stuff on land aside from core & legs)...or I'll do short rounds of pull-ups, heavy floor press, chin-ups, pop-up push ups with a bit of rest between each For example, the past few weeks I've been doing this once a week, in short course meters: 300 whatever, loosen 6x100 @ 1:40 #1: pull breath every 3/5 x50, up tempo #2: + paddles 50 breath every 3rd/50 drop paddles and go stronger #3: pull breath every 5/7 x50.... #4: + paddles 50 breath every 5th strong/50 drop paddles and go stronger #5: pull breath every 7/9 x50 #6: + paddles 50 breath every 7th strong/50 drop paddles and go stronger (Or instead of this aerobic set I'll go some mix of swim build, kick underwater, pull fast with a limited breathing pattern) Then easy 200-300 whatever recovery 4x100 @ 2:15 All 25s w/in 100 are 2 stroke cycles mod, 2 cycles build, fast to wall (for first 75m...them 25 fly perfect form strong)...hold 1:10s or faster...great lactic tolerance set! 300 or so recovery 12x25 @ :30 all out free, hold faster than :15 (great anaerobic endurance set) Cool down Anyway, when I lift I go with a weight that I can go a lot of reps on for a while with less than a 1:1 work to rest, more like 2:1 which would be considered more aerobic...swimming 1-2x a week (depending on conditions....which for now means I been doing a lot of looking at a black line!) I jack the intensity waaaay up as well as recovery time to get desired anaerobic power/endurance results that I can't really (until a surgery) from weights
Wish I had a pool around me, I'm lifting about every other day, sometimes giving it a 2 day break and cardio in between. I've heard lift as little as 2 days a week and focus on nutrition if you want to see better gains. Thoughts?
Recovery is important, especially if you're trying to make gains! what surfing has taught me, and the recent (past 10 years) of swim training physiology realizations is that intensity is a key component (i mean look at Barry...he just gets his geriatric a$$ on a board and paddles tonengland and back for flat spells-but that works for him so whatever)...and you should be doing something at least 1x a week for surfing's purposes to jack your heart rate......for 1 of your cardio days try something like fartlek training like :30 max, :30 easy for 6-10 minutes....or increasing run tempo xminute for 3 minutes followed by 1 min super easy for 24-32 min (take this advice with a grain of salt though...i know if I tried to do this running my hamstrings and shins would be shyte for a week - know your fitness level and don't get yourself injured) Then there's all the other stuff like balance, flexibility, agility (these things come fairly naturally to me so I just work to maintain these...although I'm beginning to push towards 40 so whhhhew) The biggest thing is to listen to your body and see what works for you...and always mix up the routine...it's so easy to fall back on a routine, but they get stale...and when they get stale so does your progress....have your fall backs to kind of gauge your fitness and improvements, but don't be afraid to deviate........one of my biggest rules of advice is, if you aren't changing you aren't getting better The inertia is a great Instagram accnt with surf fitness related ideas
Barry doesn't have arms I thought? Yeah the routine is what kills the motivation too, I'm not one for monotony.
i surf at least 3- 7 times a week when im not on fires because the PNW always has waves year round. Just move off the east coast to somewhere that actually gets swell more then 2 days a month and you can surf whenever you want.
Oh yes I do!! They are busy embracing your GF/wife!! hahahaha! Just kidding of course. As for the lifting, at my age, there is no longer any muscle weight gain, muscle retention is good enough. The exception may be present for those that take testosterone supplements which I am not stupid enough to do. I do work with light weights, 10, 12, 15 lbs with lot of repetitions (a lot for me, anyways). Keeps my paddling well enough to deal with nice size swells. That is all I want from it. But there is no better exercise for paddling than paddling itself, imho.
Yes, I understand. Well, suffice it to say that different generations will do different things. Younger ones will rebel at the habits of the older--it is the way of the human species. Thank god there is but one......
